Overview
The capital atoll of the Marshall Islands is a thin ribbon of land enclosing a vast, brilliant lagoon in the remote central Pacific. Majuro blends sleepy island life with WWII history and world-class diving at this far-flung Micronesian outpost.
Getting around
Shared taxis run along the single main road for a flat low fare, and a few rental cars are available. The strip-like atoll means everything is along one route.
Local etiquette
Marshallese culture is modest and community-oriented, so dress conservatively away from the beach and greet people warmly. Respect local customs and ask before photographing individuals.
Safety
Majuro is generally safe with low violent crime, though petty theft occurs, so secure valuables. Medical facilities are basic, making comprehensive travel insurance essential.
